Sachin Tendulkar Created A 100 Per Cent Impact On The Game With The Quality Or Talent He Had: Aaqib Javed

Former Pakistan seamer Aaqib Javed paid a fitting tribute to Sachin Tendulkar, whose career came to an end seven years ago in November. Sachin Tendulkar’s numbers are a testament to his greatness, ruling over the best of the bowlers with ease and decimating oppositions at will. Aaqib Javed reckons that the 47-year old deserved to do it, given all the quality he had.

Sachin Tendulkar played his final and 200th Test against the West Indies in his home ground of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. It ended in a crushing win for India as they beat the Caribbeans by an innings and 126 runs to win the two-match series by 2-0. Though there were centuries from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rohit Sharma, Tendulkar was the centre of attention. He perished for 74 runs in his last innings.

By the time Sachin retired from international cricket, he was not only the highest run-getter in Test and ODI cricket but also the most-capped cricketer and the highest century-maker in both the forms. The right-handed batsman’s 200 Tests yielded 15921 runs while the 464 ODIs produced 18426. After retirement, he was associated with the Mumbai Indians with the mentor.

Sachin Tendulkar was the most impactful cricketer: Aaqib Javed

Aaqib Javed, who played for Pakistan in Tendulkar’s early years, hailed the Indian cricketer for creating an impact by doing justice the talent he possessed. Javed mentioned that the 47-year old was the ace batsman for several years as he was a seasoned player.

“Sachin created a 100 per cent impact on the game with the quality or talent he had. He held the numero uno spot in the game for several years as he was a seasoned cricketer,” Javed told in a chat with GloFans Q20 fan series.
